There is a guy who I have a crush on for that works in my building. After several months of my admiring him from afar and him and I flirting a bit back and forth, recently in casual conversation, he slipped in mention of “wife” while conversing with me. I was bummed but know nothing can come out of my crush with him. I can only ever just admire him from afar.
He’s older in his late 40s while I’m in my late twenties.
Again, I don’t plan on forging a relationship with him, but my heart of course thinks of the things he says still. The other day we were talking about how he became a dad at a young age, and he then after asked me “What about you? Are you married? Boyfriend?”
I told him I don’t and he said “Oh well why not?”
If he has no intention of leaving his wife, why would he want to know if I have a boyfriend? To just fulfill a curiosity?
And by him asking why I’m single was that him thinking I’m weird for being single at my age or am I overthinking?
Thank you all

03But he didn’t have to ask me that. There are so many other things he could have transitioned the conversation into considering that we were talking about his children.
In his mind having a boyfriend, being married leads to kids. You said you were talking about him having kids at a young age. So it makes sense for him to bounce the topic back to you and ask about the steps you will need to take before being ready for kids
